“Avoid The Officer & a Gentleman Suite”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

If you want funky/shabby/dirty, book the Officer & a Gentleman Suite. We guess they have kept this "shrine" because the movie was filmed in Port Townsend and the love scene between Debra Winger & Richard Gere was filmed in this room. The only thing that might resemble the movie scene is the bed spread, which looks like it hasn't been washed since the movie came out in the early '80's! The so-called "kitchenette" is basically unusable, the cabinets look like they will fall off the wall any minute, and the refrigerator (which blocks the oven door) freezes everything. There are no cooking utensils. The sliding door which leads to the balcony is nearly impossible to slide and the deck is dirty. The Jacuzzi tub on the deck was dirty and not at all private. The windows are so dirty you can hardly see the view. The only positive thing about this room is the refurbished bathroom, which is quite nice, although if you weigh more than 175 lbs. you probably will not fit into the tiny shower stall. At $140/night we felt ripped off.

Room Tip: Ask for a refurbished room.

“Never never again!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2011
3
people found this review helpful

Website is a hoax! Never saw an updated room and was never offered one (which we would have gladly paid for if we knew). Old and dirty room, noisy, smokers next door, dilapidated firepit view. Looks like they started painting the exterior but only got as far as the first floor. Glad we didn't pay for an "outside jacuzzi" room - looked basically like an old bathtub surrounded by wood slats with a leeky faucet. Such a crying shame owners have let this go so badly. The only redeeming value was the nice staff and the great restaurants and shops nearby. Would NEVER stay here again.

“Bring your flashlight!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2011

people found this review helpful

Creepy, cruddy room. Dirty and dark. I literally had to hold a lamp over my suitcase to find anything. Noisy, it's right on the main road (10 feet away). The view was beautiful if you didn't look down at the gross jacuzzi (I use that term loosely), the rotting deck and the disintegrating barbeque pit. There has to be something better in Port Townsend.

“Great location, needs updating”

Came to stay for the Rhody Days celebration. Nice walk to town, and awesome waterfront location with balcony. Too bad it wasn't sunny.
Brought our kayaks to launch from. Hotel beach!
Fun to watch ferries and cruise ships sail by!
Rooms are adequate but really need to be updated! Bathroom does have a hair dryer but no washcloths? Firepit and picnic tables outside too.

“Dirty. Dirty. Dirty. Don't let the outside & view fool you, this hotel is horrible.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2011

people found this review helpful

This hotel has to be one of the dirtiest motels I've ever stayed in. We found a think layer of dust on the floors, walls and lamps. We found a lotion bottle on the ground from the previous guests. The beds were so uncomfortable we could hardly sleep. The noise from the busy street right outside our door didn't help. The shower was dirty and had horrible water pressure. They need some serious help with maid service. The worst part was we found a dead BEDBUG on one of the beds headrest!!! Not worth how much they charge for rooms.
